[PATCH Part1 RFC v3 20/22] x86/boot: Add Confidential Computing address to setup_header
From: Brijesh Singh
Date: Wed Jun 02 2021 - 10:06:15 EST
While launching the encrypted guests, the hypervisor may need to provide
some additional information that will used during the guest boot. In the
case of AMD SEV-SNP the information includes the address of the secrets
and CPUID pages. The secrets page contains information such as a VM to
PSP communication key and CPUID page contain PSP filtered CPUID values.
When booting under the EFI based BIOS, the EFI configuration table
contains an entry for the confidential computing blob. In order to support
booting encrypted guests on non EFI VM, the hypervisor to pass these
additional information to the kernel with different method.
For this purpose expand the struct setup_header to hold the physical
address of the confidential computing blob location. Being zero means it
isn't passed.
